Solar system’s price tag mostly depends on its size—how many panels and their power levels—as well as if you’re adding a battery.
Although solar panel prices have taken a delightful dip, other costs like materials and labor have soared higher than a kite on a windy day. If you’re sitting on the fence, waiting for solar prices to plummet, consider this: while tech will always get cooler, overall costs might not drop enough to make waiting worthwhile. Those electricity bills you’re dreaming of ditching could keep piling up in the meantime!
Here’s a golden nugget: If you’re not adding a battery, your solar setup should clock in at no more than $2.70 per watt. So, make sure to play detective with your solar rep or consultant. Ask them to spill the beans about your total costs. If you’re told it’s higher, you’re likely shelling out too much for your sunshine-powered dreams. Happy solar shopping!
